Street_.~ Limits Width-Feet Width-Feet Biddison Street McCart Avenue to Hemphill Street 36 50 to 60 Origin of Project On June 6, 1978 (MSC G-3837), the City Council approved the 1978-81 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) which included the widening and reconstruction of Biddison Street from Hemphill to Wayside (1978-81 CIP, Page ST-43). On January 29, 1980 (M&C C-4948), the City Council authorized a contract between the City and Brookes H. Baker, Consulting Engineer, to perform the preliminary phase of engineering to determine the best alignment, paving section and any required drainage facilities for the project. On November 12, 1980 (MSC C-5393), the City Council authorized a contract between the City and Brookes H. Baker, Consulting Engineer, to perform the final engineering on the project and extended the limits of the project one block from Wayside to McCart, thereby changing the limits of the project from McCart to Hemphill. Improvements Improvements will consist of constructing a new 36-foot wide roadway of collector grade pavement and appurtenances with concrete driveway approaches where required and concrete sidewalks adjacent to the curb on the southside of the street only. Storm drain facilities will consist of 887 feet of concrete pipe complete with required inlets.

Bertram Constr. & Eng., Inc. 736,045.58 No Bid L.H. Lacy Company 804,471.52 No Bid *Denotes Low Bid Project Cost and Financing In accordance with Standard City Policy in effect at the time this project was brought to the attention of the adjacent property owners and approved by the City Council, cost (assessments) to the adjacent property owners on the south side of the street is approximately $93,265.13. Funding for the property owners cost will be provided for by a bond fund transfer from the "Revolving Fund Unspecified." Property on the north side of the street is the Burlington Northern Railroad Company right-of-way containing its main track. Based on previous appraisals of like situations, streets adjacent to a main line track do not enhance the right-of-way. Consequently, no assessments are proposed. The Railroad Company however, after lengthy negotiations, dedicated additional right-of-way for Biddison Street ranging in width from 5.25 feet to 15 feet from Hemphill Street to Ryan Avenue for a total of 44,932.14 square feet at no cost to the City. Cost to the City for street construction is approximately $472,813.45 and $48,154.40 for storm drain improvement, plus $73,707.95 (12X) engineering. Sufficient funds are available in the Project Account (21-025233-00) to provide for the City's construction and engineering costs. However, bond fund transfers are required to transfer construction funds to the engineering account within the project account. In addition, surplus funds are being returned to the appropriate unspecified accounts. Recommendations It is recommended that: 1.
